An illuminating double-standard, subtle propaganda, and the apparently-coordinated effort to silence dissent

Mr. Obama can apologize to the single greatest force for evil in human history — Islam — but he can’t apologize to American law enforcement?

Something that may have gone unnoticed: Pamela Geller points out that at his “press conference,” BHO intended to end with the question about the arrest of his “good friend,” the race-bating Gates, coming back to the “journalist” (propagandist) set up to deliver the prompt.

What was the purpose of that question during a discussion of socialized medicine? Only this: To set up in the minds of unwary viewers the idea that anyone who opposes Obama’s tyrannical push into socialism must be a racist.

“Break him“? “His Waterloo“? The defamatory “Teabagger” cartoon?

This is what despots do: They demonize their opponents.

Don’t let Obama and his co-conspirators succeed. Oppose their unconstitutional power grab. Vote for actual Americans who will defend and obey our Constitution and our God-given Rights to Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.

One last, related note: Joseph Farah was on Savage this week, revealing that overnight WND’s articles on Obama’s failure to produce his birth certificate had been pushed several pages deep in the major search engines’ (Google, Bing, Yahoo) results.

As of this writing, WND turns up late (if at all) on the first page of results in a search for “Obama birth certificate.”

Farah noted that suddenly leftist sites attempting to dismiss the issue were the top hits.

Here‘s why: CNN’s president is trying today to explain away why Obama refuses to produce the birth certificate, spending millions of dollars in court to do so:

CNN/U.S. President Jon Klein told staffers of “Lou Dobbs Tonight” on Thursday that the controversy regarding the legitimacy of President Obama’s birth certificate — a topic Dobbs has avidly pursued on the air — is a “dead” story.

[. . .]

That appeared to be a step back from the stance Klein took in his e-mail Thursday, in which he wrote that CNN researchers had determined that Hawaiian officials discarded paper documents in 2001. Because of that, Obama’s long-form birth certificate no longer exists and a shorter certificate of live birth that has been made public is the official record, they reported.

After all these months, the hospital just “threw it away”?

Isn’t that like Obama’s not-knowing-about-the-TEA-Parties-except-when-he-knew-about-them? Or his never-being-Muslim-except-when-he-was-one?

B. Hussein promised transparency; what he didn’t explain was that he’d be transparently dishonest.

This subtle form of censorship appears to be a coordinated effort between Obama, his allies in media, and his supporters at (at least) Google to make the controversy disappear (just as sites purportedly answering questions about Obama’s background have disappeared, and the letter from him to his “birth” hospital went hidden).

What’s next, Obama’s political opponents disappearing? Being set up to appear involved in some unsavory and/or illegal activities?

When a megalomaniacal, Ready-to-Rule-from-Day-1, demagogue controls the media, you no longer have a “shining city on a hill;” rather, you’re on the descent into third-world, banana-republican, Soviet-style tyranny.
